Hello, Sweeties!
Ooo, I have a such a sweet “Voila!” moment for you today! This project was a real treat to work on, from the initial planning to the final product. Even the photo editing, which can be a bit of a chore, was so much fun.

Are you ready to see it?? Prepare yourself for some serious cuteness, because

it

comes…

VOILA! The Cookie Monster Hat!

Ahhhhhhhh! Didn’t I tell you? Adorable! (If you can’t tell, I am slightly in love with this hat right now. OK, maybe more than slightly…)

Now maybe you are thinking: “Another baby hat? Really, Rachel?” What can I say? I have a brand new baby nephew, and lots of friends and family who are expecting or just had babies; I’m inspired! And they are so rewarding to make. Baby hats are fairly quick to make, and knowing that they will be worn by someone’s sweet little baby is a great feeling!

Cuteness like this deserves another picture, wouldn’t you say?

I have always loved Jim Henson’s creations. I watched Sesame Street growing up, discovered The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth as a teen, and I will always and forever LOVE the Muppets.

So I have to be honest, darlings; I MAY have another hat in the works. The obsession continues, bahaha! Here’s a hint for: Christmas 🙂 It’s going to be a little more elaborate then my last three hats, I can’t wait for you to see it!

Hello Darlings! As promised, I have another cute crochet hat for you, hooray!

Like many people, I have fond memories from childhood of playing what are now considered retro video games. I can remember playing “Outlaw” on our Atari, then “Super Mario Brothers” on our original NES (Nintendo), and “Tetris” on a word processor that only had one color: orange.

Now don’t get me wrong; I LOVE my XBOX 360 😉 I just happen to have a soft spot in my heart for all those games and gaming systems that paved the way for modern video games and systems.

SO! In honor of all those oldie-but-goodies, I present (*small drum roll*)……

Voila! INKY the Pac-man Ghost Hat!

Isn’t he just too cute? Can’t you just hear the little “waka-waka” noise Pac-man makes when he’s eating up all those dotty-things (what were those things, anyway…)? Anyhoo, let’s have another look at Mr. Inky, from the side this time…

Ah! So cute! I really like the way this little hat turned out. Just like my Pumpkin Baby Hat, I made the pattern up based off the way I imagined it. And of course, I also looked at images from the original Pac-man game for inspiration.

In the game, there are four different ghosts: Inky (blue), Blinky (red), Pinky (pink [no kidding, haha!]), and Clyde (orange). I may have already started work on on a red one; they are just fun so to make! I doubt that my Crafter’s ADD will allow me to make all four of them without trying some other type of hat first, though.

😉

I think a cute, little ghosty hat is a pretty swell way to end Halloween weekend, wouldn’t you say? Have a wonderful start to your week, Loveys!
Talk to you soon!
